Hello etc.

Hello guys & gals. El Muerko pointed me to this site after having a chat with him about games writing a while back - so here I am.

I've done a few pieces for the EG reader reviews & other sites:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/review-il2-sturmovik-1374536
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/review-silent-hunter-5-1388441

and yeah I'm a bit of a simulator fan. Feels a bit odd pimping my 'services' like this, but I'd love to help write the odd piece for the site, if you'll have me. If not I'll just lurk and post the occasional knob gag.

Since Peej and Hairy are away at the moment, although I think Peej may be back. I'm putting up any submissions at the moment. (The submit function doesn't appear to work and Hairy gets the submissions@ emails)

Orpheus said:Thanks for the welcome chaps, and lo Tiger - internet's a small place sometimes :D Cheers for the sub advice.

@ Kentmonkey - I'm on a Windows Phone I'm afraid, I own nothing with the i-prefix whatsoever. Happy to do WinPhone games tho, and thanks for the offer :)

No worries mate. Well Peej and Hairy are the regular review code guys, I get the odd bit still from old contacts (I used to write for eight websites, until I realised that I was no longer enjoying gaming, so cut it down to two) but it's amazing how many people have left their PR company jobs in the last two years. I know virtually none of the new lot at all, sadly, so my review code is very, very sparse.

I'm sure Peej and Hairy will welcome a new face to the writing team though.

Also we have done a few 'letting the dust settle' articls (I've done three I think, Peej another, just search for 'letting the dust settle' and read the Uncharted 2 one I wrote as a guide) so there's nothing stopping you submitting a review of a game that's been out 12 months+ that you've only just played, as one of those types of features. It doesn't have to be a 'good' game, just one that either reviewed really well or really poorly at the time and you're reviewing it now that the dust has, ahem, settled. :o)

Orpheus, please feel free to write as much stuff as you want. Send it my way (hairyarse at gmail dot com) and I'll work my magic on it. Once we build up a bit of confidence in you, we'll give you access to the Content Management System and you can upload it yourself.

EvilAshChris doesn't have access yet because he never proof-reads. :P

Cool, ta - didn't want to step on anyone's toes! Will spend a few days with RO2 and get something scrawled down. :D
